Senior Front End Engineer

We are a profitable, mission-driven fintech company building financial solutions for people whose needs go unmet by traditional institutions - people with disabilities, older adults, and people in recovery, and the families and professionals who care for them. We get to wake up every day knowing our work has a profound impact on our customers’ lives, and we run the business with the discipline to keep doing it for the long haul. That track record has earned us a spot on the Forbes Fintech 50 and the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies for the last two years.

In this role, you’ll use your front end expertise to make this thoughtful fintech work happen! While you’ll spend most of your time hands-on coding in our Rails/React stack, you’ll also be taking the time to understand the architecture, mentor and learn from those around you to create more sustainable front end software

What You’ll Do

• Shape and deliver user-centric features in our Rails/React environment
• Act as a kind educator and learn from teammates across different experience levels in JavaScript
• Guide the team towards creating more robust front end experiences through a mix of modeling better practices and active mentoring and teaching

Who You Are

• Experienced JavaScript developer with modern framework experience
• Comfortable collaborating with designers and product managers to balance tradeoffs between addressing tech debt and delivering functionality
• Experienced teacher or mentor who also learns from others
• Adept at delivering ambitious projects quickly while reinforcing a culture of excellence
• Quality focused via good usability patterns and developer testing practices

What Tech You Know

• Javascript
• React
• A11y
